05 · Questions

Airbnb management in Dubai, answered.

How much does Airbnb management cost in Dubai?

Most Dubai managers charge a commission of 15–25% of revenue. CORE charges a flat monthly fee per unit from AED 900, with no commission and no revenue share, so the upside from better pricing stays with you. See the full breakdown in our pricing guide.

Is Airbnb legal in Dubai?

Yes. Short-term holiday home rentals are legal and regulated in Dubai. Any home rented for under six months needs a holiday home permit from the Department of Economy and Tourism (DET, formerly DTCM), and a licensed operator can run it on your behalf. Full details here.

Do I need a permit to rent my apartment on Airbnb in Dubai?

Yes. Any Dubai home rented for under six months needs a holiday home permit from the Department of Economy and Tourism (DET, formerly DTCM). We handle permit setup and the monthly Tourism Dirham filing as part of onboarding. Read the permit guide.

How much can my Dubai apartment earn on Airbnb?

It depends on the area, the unit, and how well it's priced and run. A well-managed short-term rental in a prime Dubai community often outperforms a long-term lease, but the honest answer is unit-specific. See what Dubai Airbnbs earn, or book a free estimate and we'll model yours.

Does CORE take a commission on bookings?

No. We charge a flat monthly fee per unit, with no percentage of revenue and no booking commissions. See pricing.

Which areas of Dubai do you manage?

Across the city, including Dubai Marina, JBR, Downtown, Business Bay, JLT, and Palm Jumeirah, with a Dubai-based guest operations team on Dubai hours.

How long does it take to go live?

14 days from signed agreement to fully live, including permit setup, listing build, pricing, and channel distribution.
